The end of the WORLD!

When is the end going to be?

We thought it was:

In the 60’s – the Cuban Missile Crisis

In the 80’s fear of a nuclear war

Then we had the millennium

Now we have the box office hit 2012 – the end of the Mayan Calendar

If we happen to make it to 2013 we’ll still want to know the end of the story. I believe Newton said something about 2060?

It’s not just in the BIG picture that we want to know the end. It’s also in our personal life decisions. Let’s say you’re going to invest money. You’ll weigh all your options wanting to know the outcome before making a decision. Every day we are trying to figure out the end of the story so we can do the “right” thing. However, the truth is we don’t get to know the end of the story.

So, what can we do?

Approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith (Hebrews 10:22). I am not talking about the assurances we have in the finite but the assurance we have in Christ. We continue to approach because story is not over.

The story did not end with the people of the Old Testament. The story did not end with the people of the New Testament. We are God’s living story in the world today. God’s living Word is in you.

We may not get to know the end of the story – but how awesome that we get to be a part of the story!
